Cotton Candy, a Bull, a Cat Call and a Streaker

So last night was an adventure to say the least.

It started off by Alex and me hanging out lazily in my room and she said "I want to go mingle with the boys" so we decided to go walk the Man Tower. We only saw a grand total of around 7 guys cause they were either hiding or out being social. While we were there we met up with one of the R.A.s and he was talking to us about going greek and gave us the sales pitch. While he was talking to us he flagged down a girl who was walking buy who is in a sorority and had her tell us some stuff. She told us that there was a greek sponsored BBQ going on right now (no wonder all the boys were gone). So after stopping in to talk to pedro on the 7th floor we headed over to the BBQ.

It was a pretty awesome party, kids were playing soccer, laser tag and ultimate Frisbee. There was free cotton candy, pop corn and water. A DJ was set up blastin' some pretty good tunage. Then-there was the bull! Alex rode it once before we headed back to the tower to a) drop off her phone to charge b) for me to change[I was in a dress] and c) to pick up her boyfriend sam. Once we got back we each rode the bull and it was pretty dang cool, just really hard to stay on.

By this time it was dark and the 'dance' started up. It was okay, too many freshman who didn't know how to dance now that they were in the big bad college lol. Once FlowRider came on with "Low" things really heated up, got cat called by a black guy, personally I take that as a huge compliment to my dancing. Some guy tried to grind with me and I slipped away and he took the hint. Once that song was over though it kinda went back to a few kids jumping and a lot of just standing around. So, we left.

We decided to go over to Old Main and star gaze. It was very clear so we had some great stars. We chatted and joked for a bit and then watched some ice blockers eat some major grass. Then things really got interesting. As we were sitting there Sam said "Hey what's that guy doing down there?" we saw  in the distant shadows a guy walking around under the trees. At this point Sam said "Is he naked?" Alex and I didn't think so. I thought he was just wearing kakhi colored clothing. Boy was I wrong.

This nude guy runs straight for us with a frantic, haggard look in is eye. He then proceeds to sit down RIGHT next to Sam, and not at a friendly distance. His leg was touching Sam's. This streaker then proceedes to rave frantically about finding a guy name Ryan and it went a little something like this:

"Where's Ryan? I'm looking for Ryan! I know him! We've had sex like a thousand times. I think I love him. I just need to find him! I need Ryan!"

It was quite funny, then we told him to go find Ryan and follow his dreams. We mostly wanted him to go away and quit touching Sam. At this point he ran away and started harassing the ice blocking group who gave him a towel that they had been using to ice block. He sat down with them and we couldn't here what he was saying to them. At this point Sam and Alex decided to go look for his clothes, which they found further down the hill by where we had first saw him. They then came back and folded up his clothes, Alex was going to wash them and put them on her bullitan board.

Then the cops showed up and we felt like it was time to leave. Alex gave them his clothes so he could get dressed before he headed off to jail. Then we got asked to stick around and talk to the cops and we ended up mingling with the ice blocker group swapping naked man stories. A little bit later the cops came back and had us fill out witness statements. After that we headed back home under the stars wondering about the fate of the little naked man.

Big Day

So I have a phone interview today for an on campus job, I am super excited. I think I can get this job and it would be absolutely perfect for my schedule. Mon-Thurs it is 6-9 and Sat it is 9am-Noon. Only three hour shifts, perfect for working around classes and homework. Elizabeth should be calling around 10:30 :) which...is about the same time that my room mate should get here.

Yup Sam is coming today. I wont be totally alone all the time now! Yay! The room feels weird right now cause I have a ton of stuff and there is nothing on her side...just white...creepy lol. I am excited... a lot going down this morning. Oh! I forgot to write yesterday about the funny freshman guy that tried hitting on me yesterday!

So I was walking into The Junction (cafeteria) and he passed me and said in a 'sexy' voice "hola, coma es das?" and I responded "buen, eh tu?" [fyi I don't speak or spell Spanish, I am just guessing] and his eyes all light up and he goes "oooohhhhh asi asi!". Then I got food and when I got a drink he was there and was like " I didn't know you spoke Spanish!" to which I replied "I don't, I know very little" and he said "Oh me too, that's about all I know." I then dodged out of his way and went and sat with Pedro. I found it a very funny encounter. Freshmen!

Well that's about all, I shall leave you with a joke:


A Baptist Preacher was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Texas. After the plane took off the cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the preacher if he would like a drink.

Appalled, the preacher replied, "I'd rather be tied up and taken advantage of by women of ill-repute than let liquor touch my lips."

The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice."

How the Shy Guy Taught Me to be Friendly

So, I don't know why but I've felt kinda shy the past few days with the girls on my floor, idk between me being tired and them being tired not much talking has happened. Today I met up with my friend Pedro for dinner and after we chatted we went back to my room and talked for a bit longer before he was like "lets go meet people" and that's exactly what we did.

Now Pedro has always seemed rather shy because he is very soft spoken and last year when we were in big groups he didn't talk much. Well, I guess he has been working on being more outgoing because he introduced himself to 6 different girls tonight on my floor and I got to know a lot more people because of it...I guess I should do that more. Just walk up and say "Hi, I am Carly. What's your name?" and start talking and asking questions. I guess interview is a type of conversation right?

Well we hung out with my neighbors for a while and had a good long fun chat with them, they got nicknames and we talked about self defense and being "mean". FYI: Pedro can't be mean. He was trying and laughing at the same time and then wonder why we couldn't take him serious, it was quite funny. Had a pretty good night because Pedro showed me how by doing something that may seem awkward, it can become less awkward. Lesson learned. Thanks Pedro!

Ciao,

Moved in...and BORED

So its coming on night numero dos in the new dorm room, getting pretty settled in. I have four boxes totally unpacked and the rest of them half empty, I've decorated using my hat collection and put up all my books :) Evan came slept over the first night to help me unpack and keep me company. He left about an hour ago...and now I am dead bored. I can't find it in myself to unpack more tonight and most of the girls on the floor are busy unpacking or hanging with their families. Hopefully the gym will be open tomorrow, I really want to start out fast on my workout regiment.
Well, must try to entertain myself

My Black Milk Obsession

This might be getting unhealthy...I check the Black Milk Facebook page more than any other page on the internet... but can't ya see why?

But for real, this company is amazing, other than making out standing clothing they are out standing people. The owner/mastermind/designer/emperor actually manages his own fan page and responds daily to fan posts and pictures. Contests and discounts reward the faithful followers of the page as well as being part of a wonderfully positive community of people who love the product. The customer service department alone is amazing, their care and concern over the buyer's worries is sincere and leads to rave reviews of "the girls".

The products they send out are top of the line, that's why it may stretch your budget a bit, but it is totally worth it. The leggings are comfortable and forgiving (i.e. form fitting with out revealing everything), the designer pieces are well cut to drape perfectly and everything is constructed to the highest caliber to satisfy the ever raving fans.

Wonderful for your everyday or night out, Black Milk has the top items on a trendy girl's "want" list.

These are my purchases thus far: Lace Baby Doll Top, Green Galaxies and my Purple Galaxy Swim is on its way...


green galaxies

green galaxies again
lace baby doll (belt not included)

My addiction is ridiculous. So I have been able to resist and only order these three so far...but look at all the awesomeness that I want to buy:
